    Getting Free Stuff From CTC - Legally!

    Many consumers are unaware of the "Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code" (also known as the "Scanning Code of Practice"). Several store chains in Canada (including Canadian Tire) have agreed to abide by the following code: - If the scanned price is higher than the "correct" prices (i.e., the...

    So You Think Canadian Tire is........

    After a few days of reading the forums I decided to chime in with my $0.02 plus tax Seems to me I've read the same complaints over and over again, twisted and typed different ways, with no real substance. So allow me to lay a few things out on the table 1) Most of CT's products are Chinese...

    Rude management

    I will never shop here again. I tried to get a price adjustment on an item that there were now advertising on sale at a lower price and I was within the 90 day return policy. They state that you only have 14 days for a price adjustment. Instead of just buying the item again at the lower price...

    Claude in Parts

    I watched Claude at the parts counter speak condescendingly to a nice old guy asking him questions. No eye-contact - a pissed off look on his face - condescending attitude when he didn't agree with the old guy's assumption about what part he needed, etc. This is commonplace at this store...

    You Guys Need A Life

    I Type in Canadian Tire on my Google page and i stumble upon this stupid site, i find it quite funny that people actually take time out of their "precious" lives to trash talk a store and its employees. Its sad, I would love to see where people who use the forum work. As an employee of CT and...

    My wife bought a plastic broom and dust pan. When she got home she noticed the plastic dust pan had a crack in it. I said I would return it and I took it back with the bill. They would give me a credit but no cash as I didn't have my wife's debit card. I talked to the manager and he said...

    The Many Ways CTC Is Going Down-Hill

    I've been aware for some time that Canadian Tire is going down-hill, in products and services. 10 years ago, I started hearing horror stories about auto repairs being done incorrectly by incompetent employees, and have actively discouraged people from taking their vehicles their. At some...

    Returned goods put back on shelf to be resold (to me)

    It seems almost everything I buy at CT has been returned. I consider these products to be used, not new. I bought a cot. Good quality, on closer inspection, blond hair boot print and dust. Hey, unexpected overnight guests? Buy, no rent, cot at CT and return it the next day. It's back on...

    Repair only policy

    I am sure that this happens time and time again. I bought an item, and a few days later decided that I didn't want it. Decided to return the unopened item, though stalling for 2 weeks since I have 90 days to return and all. Get to the store... "repair only" no return... excuse me? It says so...

I got it towed back to Canadian Tire, they admitted fault and offered to make it right. The...

    Stupid return policy to hide employee theft?

    According to Mr.CT Manager his customers are all potential fraudsters to justify the stupid invasion of privacy for returns and exchanges. He goes on and on about how bad his experiences are and how many times he's caught them with fraud. Any study on the break down of his customer base? Age...
